Class Description:
I am currently teaching 6th grade technology education. This is the first year for this class and I'm trying to get a variety of software/hardwareso that we can go beyond Powerpoints.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
I have a need for a lab set of digital cameras so that students can explore various activities/software(ex. digital scavenger hunts, photo editors). I'm also trying to locate licenses for a web authoring software (Dreamweaver/Frontpage)so that I can expose my students to web design. The final area of need is Robotics. I have 1 lego Mindstorm robot and would love to get 5-7 so that I could do group challenges and expose students to this type of technology.

Favorite Quotes:
Tell Me, and I forget. Teach me, and I may Remember, Involve me, and I learn.
Why Do I Teach?:
To make an impact in the world. I saw a need to inspire kids to love math as I did. Once I began teaching I got bitten by the technology bug and havne't turned back. Technology is a great equilizer for students. Those who write slow, keep up. Those who write neat are no longer separated from those with good penmanship. The quiet kids can show their skills. The excitement in making a program do something new is great to see. When they take an activity and continue to recreate and expand on it, I know they're really enjoying learning.
